Stones Consider 2027 Residency Run Across Major Venues

The Rolling Stones say they’re considering residency-style performances in 2027, weighing formats and venues such as Madison Square Garden in NYC, MetLife/SoFi Stadiums, Wembley, and even the Las Vegas Sphere. Keith Richards has floated the idea as a way to shorten the touring grind, while Mick Jagger remains open to touring; plans could involve a few shows per city across multiple markets or a multi-city run, with a possible farewell-style finale discussed but not confirmed. A NYC/London/LA stadium-focused approach looks likely if they proceed, though health, logistics, and ticket costs will influence the final plan.

Rolling Stones Still Have It: Foreign Tongues Delivers Grit, Space, and Surprises

Marc Burrows’ review finds Foreign Tongues largely proves The Rolling Stones still have their grit and groove, with Watt’s production giving the songs a punchy, expansive feel and high-profile guests like Paul McCartney, Steve Winwood, and even a posthumous Charlie Watts moment adding weight. The album spans multiple decades of rock and yields three standout tracks that hold up alongside the band’s classics, but it’s hampered by overlong runtimes and moments where the production flattens dynamics and the choruses sound overly glossy. If anything, it confirms the Stones aren’t chasing relevance so much as continuing to make music for the fun of it, closing with a vintage Chuck Berry cover that seals the full-circle moment. A flawed but engaging late-career statement that’s worth a listen.
